Ekoa’s sustainability action plan.

At Ekoa by Lingrove, we are committed to leading the way in sustainable materials.

From day one, our mission has been to create high-performance materials that put sustainability at the core — not as an afterthought, but as the foundation. As a manufacturer operating at the intersection of design, innovation, and environmental responsibility, we know the choices we make today shape the spaces of tomorrow.

This Sustainability Action Plan lays out how we’re pushing the boundaries of what sustainable materials can do — from slashing carbon and rethinking waste to closing the loop on circularity. Backed by data, driven by design, and grounded in accountability, this plan is our blueprint for real, measurable impact — not someday, but now.

Ekoa by Lingrove actively implements the following strategies to ensure our products deliver measurable environmental and health benefits:

1. Responsible material sourcing and composition

We source rapidly renewable flax fibers as our core raw material, capitalizing on its fast 90-day growth cycle and natural carbon sequestration of 1.4 kg CO₂ per kg of fiber. Our formulations use plant-based resins exclusively, eliminating petroleum-based ingredients to maintain a bio-based product lifecycle.

2. Carbon footprint leadership

We quantify and communicate Ekoa’s carbon-neutral impact, highlighting the carbon sequestration inherent in flax cultivation and our low-emission manufacturing processes. We continuously optimize energy use, logistics, and shipping to further reduce our carbon footprint.

3. Commitment to health and indoor air quality

We maintain Ekoa’s uniquely-low VOC emissions, ensuring our products contribute to healthier indoor environments. Ekoa is PFAS-free and upholds certifications such as CleanAir GOLD, HPD, Red List Free, and Mindful Materials, to validate our stringent health standards.

4. Durability and high performance

We design Ekoa to be highly durable, stain-resistant, and impact-resistant, minimizing the need for replacements and reducing waste. Our products undergo rigorous testing and come with performance warranties to guarantee long-lasting quality.

5. Circularity and end-of-life solutions

We design our products for longevity, reuse, and recyclability. We actively operate take-back and recycling programs to close the loop and promote circularity in our product lifecycle.

6. Ethical and social responsibility

We partner with suppliers who adhere to fair labor practices and sustainable agriculture. We transparently document and communicate our ethical sourcing and manufacturing processes to all stakeholders.

7. Versatility and market impact

We position Ekoa as a replacement for carbon-intensive materials such as wood, plastics, and metals across diverse applications—including walls, furniture, and automotive interiors—driving broad adoption of this sustainable alternative. We also emphasize Ekoa’s biophilic design benefits, fostering occupant well-being by connecting people with elements from the natural world.

8. Transparency and open communication

We maintain full transparency through third-party certifications and public disclosures of material content, carbon footprint, and health impacts. We proactively educate clients, partners, and the public about Ekoa’s sustainability story and measurable benefits.

9. Continuous innovation and improvement

We continuously challenge and raise our sustainability standards, leveraging the latest research, materials, and technologies as they emerge. By routinely integrating new advancements, we push for greater performance and responsibility. Our proactive collaboration with industry partners and engagement in green building initiatives ensure we adapt quickly to evolving regulations and opportunities—allowing us to set and meet more ambitious benchmarks as new solutions become available.

10. Mission-driven impact

We are dedicated to Ekoa by Lingrove’s mission of decarbonizing the built environment by providing replacements for carbon-intensive interior products with beautiful, durable, and healthy alternatives like Ekoa.

Through bold, science-backed action, Ekoa by Lingrove is redefining what’s possible with bio-based innovation — proving that high-performance materials can be plant-powered, low-impact, and built to last. We’re committed to raising the bar and continuously learning as we go
